Additional quotes by Charley Toorop
Frankly speaking, I hate modern German art [she means Neue Sachlichkeit ].. .I don't believe it is art. It's Journalism. If you see a work of Braque, there is culture. Yes, it is interesting [German modern art], but interesting is a nasty word; that is precisely a word that fits that kind of art, especially on [Otto] Dix. Those people don't develop. They start by immediately systematizing everything. Their intellect is against them.
(original Dutch: uit Charley Toorop's brief, in het Nederlands:) .Nu lekker verder en vrijer [in haar schilderen] en stromender vooral! Ik hoop weg te groeien van die starre boel.
The simple natural form doesn't exist for the new artist; there is only a expressive one.. .But is is more difficult to see the natural in images than to listen to only abstract impressions. To be part of the cosmic means to include the recognition of the natural element that leads to seeing in a spirited way. (translation from original Dutch: Fons Heijnsbroek)
